Navy Plane Crashes

August 19, 1985

TOKYO — An Grumman E-2C early warning aircraft plunged into the northern Arabian Sea Saturday night while trying to land on the U.S. carrier Midway. Missing: Two crewmen. The other three crewmen were rescued in good condition, a U.S. Special Forces Japan spokesman said. Names of the crew members were not available immediately. Investigators are trying to find out what caused the accident, which happened during a ''routine'' night operation. Note: The carrier is based in Yokosuka, Japan, but is on maneuvers in the Arabian Sea.
